The ticket agent reminded me that they couldn’t guarantee than passengers refrain from bringing or eating nuts, which I acknowledged. We were allowed to pre-board to wipe down our seats, and the flight attendants made an in-flight announcements requesting passengers not eat nuts during flight due to the presence of a food-allergic passenger.

On the outbound flight, the flight attendant double checked with me how many rows we needed as a nut-free buffer (I said three). In spite of this, on the outbound flight two passengers behind us began to eat peanut butter crackers immediately after take-off. My daughter detected the smell in seconds. Fortunately, my daughter is not airborne anaphylactic.

I asked the passengers to please not eat their crackers, and offered to buy them a nut-free snack from the cart. One passenger was gracious, the other not so much – but they put their crackers away. It’s unfortunate that I have to pay for life-saving courtesy, but my experience is that it smoothes any ruffled feathers to offer. In short we had great flights and we are grateful!
